<p class="level0"><a name="DESCRIPTION"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p class="level0">This function will convert the given URL encoded input string to a "plain string" and return that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are URL encoded (%XX where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number, or +) will be converted to their plain text versions (up to a ? letter, no + letters to the right of a ? letter will be converted). 
<p class="level0">If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_unescape() will use strlen() on the input 'url' string to find out the size. 
<p class="level0">You must curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it. <a name="RETURN"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">RETURN VALUE</h2>
<p class="level0">A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed. <a name="SEE"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">SEE ALSO</h2>
